25th February, 1920.

Dear Wilson,

In reply to your letter of the 21st

February, we do not appear to have had any papers

about the storage of oil fuel at Hong Kong and

consequently are not in a position to say definitely

that there would be no objection to the site on the

part of the Colonial Government. As however the

Admiralty only ask for an expression of opinion from a

defence point of view, we can quite safely say that we

have no observations on this aspect of the case.

I return the chart which you enclosed.

Yours sincerely,

by dear Dixon
